Cycling UK Forum

Dear Helen, dear all,

thank you for this valuable information. I just went to the forum for a similar problem and thought it better to attach my question to this thread.

The German translation of the EasyJet's regulations simply states "bicycle container" (Fahrradbehälter), which is a rather vague expression. Having just booked a return flight from Berlin to Glasgow Int., I am wavering between the purchase of two products:

- closed bicycle garage (a bag), 1.5 kg, http://www.roseversand.de/artikel/rose- ... aid:297387
- or foil garage (open), 350g, http://www.roseversand.de/artikel/folie ... /aid:21956

I traveled with using the foil garage about four times with Ryanair and never had a problem. Also I prefer to check in my bicycle in a state where it can be pushed and used it for two or three long bicycle trip as a footprint.

Now, is option 2 a "bicycle bag"? Would like to hear about your experiences.

Well I flew back from Munich with Easyjet and they never bothered. Didn't even weigh it. Just asked me what weight it was!

When taking a bike in a bike bag on EasyJet, should it be booked in as a 'checked bag' or as an item of 'sporting equipment'?

Sporting equipment

Thanks Justin.I'd already booked a hold bag, and now I've added a sporting equipment item as well. Belt and braces - to be sure, to be sure.
